You have to search better :)
All the maemo feeds are advertised in my browser, and there is a rss feed
logo too on the top of the pages. I don't see any problem here.

http://maemo.org/news/jobs/

Feed with the last items:  http://maemo.org/news/latest.xml

>    * New packages for All Maemo versions
>    * Updated packages for All Maemo versions
>    * New packages for OS2008
>    * Updated packages for OS2008
>    * New packages for OS2007
>    * Updated packages for OS2007
>    * New packages for OS2006
>    * Updated packages for OS2006
